hydrogen cars

Water-emitting automobiles

Hydrogen cars are vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, which convert hydrogen gas into electricity to drive electric motors.

Unlike battery-electric vehicles, they refuel in minutes rather than hours: Hydrogen cars could solve the range anxiety problem.

The technology remains limited by scarce refueling infrastructure and the energy cost of producing hydrogen.
